the futures price for delivery in January is $17.9/pound. Using historical data, the standard

in the milk futures price is 0.136 and the coefficient of correlation between the change in the spot price and the change in the futures price is 0.95

Assume that the position is closed out in November. When the position is closed the spot

price of milk is 16.4 $/pound, the Milk futures price for delivery in December is $17.4/pound, and the Milk futures price for delivery in January is 18$/pound. What is the profit or loss in the futures contracts for the company when closing the position?
